Lutron Caseta 3-Way Smart Switch Kit; Switch, Wireless Remote & More

Best Smart System! I tried Levitron and the switches kept failing. Also their tech support suffered as they had no way of seeing what I had to work with (old wiring) during support calls. With Lutron, my god, it was as having an electrician at my side by video conferencing! The part are most expensive but better than paying $500 for electrician and they just work. I think this is similar to a computer company who speaks the truth. The hub alleviates the issue with white wire, but even then, I think makes the install super easy with its wireless module add ons like the Pico switch and motion detector.

I use the Lutron Castea system in conjunction with Apple HomeKit. They integrate seamlessly and easily while the combination allows a multitude of features. In addition, the Casseta Homebase network frees-up bandwidth on the 2.4Ghz band of my WiFi mesh network that would otherwise be taken-up by smart switches from any of the other vendors such as Kasa. Our four-story 3000sq.ft. townhouse functions nicely with a single Homebase connected via Ethernet to a Deco mesh node on the second floor. At first, I glossed over such features as adding remote switches and programming scenes via the Caseta app. Now I find they add tremendously to my home. For example, I have a Pico on the dining room table that adjusts all the lighting in and near the dining room for an evening meal with one touch. Same for the home theater; same for our primary bedroom at bedtime. I added a pico in the hallway using just a double gang faceplate on an existing single gang switch without any wiring at all. Now I can initiate the primary bedroom evening lighting scene - or turn on all the bedroom lights full strength - before I enter the room. There is even a pico with a built-in nightlight. If you have outdoor temporary lights, perhaps for the holidays, there are weatherproof outdoor switches you can program. All our permanent outdoor lighting is on the Caseta network for security and, of course, you can program switches for when a room is occupied via HomeKit. We also use the system for electrostatic air cleaners that help to keep our home dust and allergen free, turning them off when people are around and running them in vacant areas at night and when no one is home. As a bonus, energy bills have diminished a bit despite living in data center land. Take that AI.

I have gone totally crazy installing these all over my house for fans for lights so cool remote control at its finest. I wish they cost a little less but what a great product.

ME GUSTO

This saved me a great deal of work during a rewiring project. I had two 3-way switches, one for lights at the top of a staircase with the second switch at the bottom of the stairs and the other for lights at the bottom of the stairs with the second switch at the top. The problem was, the staircase has multiple turns and the walls are all old plaster which is extremely laborious to cut and run traveler lines through. With these Lutron switches, I was able to hard-wire the switch closest to the light fixture and place the remote as the second switch on an existing 2-gang switch box at the farther location for both lights. This saved me a huge amount of work. Furthermore, although the sticker price for the switches is a bit high, for me this approach saved money because I didn't have to buy 12-3 Romex for the traveler line, saw blades for cutting plaster, and spackle and paint to repair all the damage to the plaster. It's also nice that the top button is always on and the bottom is always off for the new 3-way switch (minor consideration, but still nice). The switches have been operational for 3 months and work flawlessly. In short, a fantastic product and one that I would highly recommend for renovations where traditional 3-way switches might be difficult to install.

I'm. pretty happy with this switch, is easy to install and also the remote makes it easier if you don't want to rain wiring for a second switch, it would be nice if the remote was already paired to the switch but it wasn't, also I didn't notice any instructions on how to pair it but I was able to find it online, push and hold the off button on the switch and do the same on the remote and when it's successful it will cycle the on/off on the switch a couple of times and then it will be successfully paired, 4 stars because it's not wifi connected but if I'm not mistaken you cna buy an additional wifi hub to connect it and be able to control it remotely, and is quite pricey too, I don't know how many remotes can you pair to this device but I have the dimmer version of this also and it has 3 remotes paired to it and it works very well too there is a small delay but nothing too concerning. Also I wish they would send an additional cover so you can mount the remote to the wall but they don't just a little bracket and it looks quite ugly, I was able to 3d print a wall mount bracket with cover and in my opinion that looks much better than the little bracket that comes with it, but if you end up not using your main cover with the switch you can use it to mount it to the wall is deep enough that it can be used alongside with the bracket and it will look quite nice, that's what I ended up doing with it but for my other dimmer switch remote that's in my living room, the 3d printed mount and cover looks quite nice too and I have that in my office.

I’ve installed many of these and half four of these set ups controlling different lights in my house. I don’t know how long these have been out for but as an electrician, the only way to achieve the function of these would be to run lots of 14–3 Romax which most times is not possible but more importantly much more expensive to the customer. This is probably one of the most important devices to have come out for lighting, in my opinion anyway. There is virtually no limits to switching lights from anywhere now. Lutron is a great brand and I have never run across any lighting incompatibilities with this brand. I’ve never installed one and had an issue with it, works every time. I do recommend an electrician install it for you, wiring is not a hobby and while it may look simple, there are lots of things good electricians look for in the switch box when they are installing devices like this and others. Anyway, highly recommend this and so glad to have found this a few few years back.

My garage's overhead lighting was operated by two doorway mounted light switches (typical 3-way switch circuit). But I needed another switch at a third door location. I planned on pulling Romex cable to the new location and configure a 4-way lighting circuit. But I avoided doing that by using this Lutron Caseta Smart Switch Kit. What a time saver and it works great. I recommend using a qualified electrician, but the rewiring can be handled by an experienced DiYer. First I identified the switch location that connected directly to mains power. The main Lutron switch was installed there. At the other existing switch location I rewired it per the optional 3-way switch instructions that can be downloaded from Lutron. Finally, the wireless remote FOB was installed at its new location. No new Romex needed, it is wireless. The remote FOB can be used as a handheld control or mounted to the wall. I wanted it installed with an existing two-gang light switch. The cool thing about the FOB is that I didn't need to modify the new location's electrical box in any way. Instead, the existing two-gang switch box was used as-is; I only had to swap out its decorative wall switch plate with a triple-gang switch plate. I screwed the remote FOB directly onto the new switch plate then installed the wall plate over the existing switches. Everything works as expected, no surprises.

This product is exactly what I was looking for. I installed it in about 20 minutes. You do not need to buy anything else for this switch to work. Install switch in existing electrical box and program the remote. So much easier than running wires and another switch. Remote can be mounted anywhere you want. Quality if the product is excellent.

If you are like me and retrofitting a 3 way line in your home sounds like an impossible chore this product is for you. Easy to install and easy to pair remote switch. Solved my three way switch problem in an elegant manner. 10/10 said this user.

This product line is a game changer when to need to add switches where there’s no wiring. This is wired and speaks to the wireless unit perfectly each time. My only complaint is that it would be great to have a dimmer feature. I was having some issues installing this due to some confusing existing wiring, so called Lutron customer service and they walked me through the process and stayed with me on the phone until everything was complete and satisfactory. Now I will only buy Lutron whenever possible.

Great design, easy to install and works beautifully

I installed this Lutron Caséta kit to control a 3-way lighting setup, and overall, I am very pleased with the quality. The installation was straightforward, and the physical switch feels premium compared to cheaper alternatives. The wireless remote is a fantastic addition that solved my wiring limitations without needing to run new cables. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is a noticeable lag. When I press the button to turn the light on, there is a delay of about 4 seconds before the light actually activates. It is not a dealbreaker because the system is so reliable and never disconnects from the Wi-Fi, but the pause is noticeable enough to be slightly annoying. If you can live with that small wait, this is still the best smart switch system on the market.
